US, Japan to develop hypersonic missile interceptor

Japan and the US will agree this week to jointly develop an interceptor missile to counter hypersonic warheads being developed by China, Russia and North Korea, Japan's Yomiuri newspaper said.

The agreement on interceptors to target weapons designed to evade existing ballistic missile defenses is expected when President Joe Biden meets Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in the US on Friday.

The US and Japan agreed in January to consider developing the interceptor at a meeting of Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin with their Japanese counterparts, Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi and Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada.

Looks like Biden will be forced out of 2024 election soon. Most of the elites have had it with Biden. The testimonies by Hunter Biden's ex business partner Devon Archer is pretty damning.

Biden is definitely staying for 2024 now. You know the special counsel that got appointed to Hunter Biden case? That person is reportedly the same guy who gave Hunter the failed plea deal that includes full immunity. Corruption at its finest.

China is winning lion’s share of construction projects in Africa

Chinese companies accounted for 31% of African infrastructure contracts valued at US$50 million or more in 2022, compared with 12% for Western firms, according to a new study.

It is worth to be noted that in the 1990s, about eight out of 10 contracts to build infrastructure in Africa were won by Western companies.

The study found that Chinese infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa totaled US$155 billion over the past two years. By contrast, total US foreign direct investment in Africa came to US$44.8 billion in 2021.

Getting rid of Huawei from Europe is much easier said than done.

Why a European weather agency is using China’s artificial intelligence model​

  • The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts is working with Chinese tech giant Huawei to launch an AI-based forecasting system
  • AI models have been described as the ‘quiet revolution’ of weather forecasting, which could be a game-changer for the industry

I guess no one likes to be lectured, even if you are supposed to be the lapdog of the lecturer.

Don't believe Western MSM's gaslighting. They are the same bunch who fantasize a war with China. The constant spelling of China's doom is just their way to keep their daydream alive.

Germany considers ban on far-Right AfD​

Call to 'defend democracy' as party surges to 21pc in opinion polls

Germany is debating whether to ban the far-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the party surges to 21 per cent in the polls, amid warnings from intelligence officials that its members are becoming increasingly extreme.

Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German president, warned in a speech to the country’s domestic intelligence agency that “we all have it in our hands to put those who despise our democracy in their place”.

His speech at the castle where the German post-war constitution was created has widely been seen as support for a ban after Thomas Haldenwang, the domestic spy chief, warned about growing Right-wing extremist influence in the party.

Mr Haldenwang said: “We see a considerable number of protagonists in this party that spread hate against all types of minorities here in Germany.”

It comes amid warnings of the increasing influence of Björn Höcke, the leader of the AfD in the eastern state of Thuringia.

Mr Höcke, a former history teacher, is known for his Hitler-esque language– with his allies sweeping the board for European lists at the party’s conference in Magdeburg in August.

In a rare move, the respected Der Spiegel news magazine weighed into the debate with a leader titled: “Ban the enemies of the constitution!”

It warned that “the AfD has become more and more radicalised. It’s time to defend democracy with better weapons”.
The co-leader of Olaf Scholz’s ruling Social Democrats also said a ban should be considered if the AfD is categorised as a group of “proven Right-wing extremists” by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

However Friedrich Merz, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union, warned that “banning parties has never actually solved political problems”.

Meanwhile, the German Institute for Human Rights, a non-governmental organisation, declared last week that “the AfD have reached a degree of dangerousness that they can be banned according to the constitution”.

They warned in an analysis that the party is actively and methodically trying “to implement its racist and Right-wing extremist goals” and “shifting the limits of what can be said so that people can get used to their ethno-nationalist positions”.

Germany has a troubled history of parties being banned, with Otto von Bismarck, the country’s first chancellor, banning the Social Democrats for disloyalty to the Kaiser.

When the Nazis came to power, they banned all other parties.

The German Democratic Republic (East Germany) also banned other parties not affiliated with the ruling Socialist Unity Party.

The post-war German constitution, keen to avoid this authoritarian excess, made a party ban legally difficult. Attempts to ban the neo-nazi NPD party in 2003 and 2017 both failed at the highest court.

Volker Boehme-Nessler, a political scientist, said he does not believe the party meets the high legal hurdles for a ban.

He warned that a failed attempt would only give the AfD an additional boost in the election campaign, he told eastern German broadcaster MDR.

“You can’t simply ban a party that gets 20-30 per cent approval” in various states, he added.

Germans are evenly split on whether the party should be banned, with 47 per cent of the country in favour of a ban and 47 per cent against.

A ban is more popular in the west and among liberal Greens.

God bless Germany, and to a larger extent Europe!

when transatlantic person like Wolf gang ischinger utter these words all you need to know about condition of Germany. I think US power will greatly increase relative to Europe and this will suffocate Europe. you can see it from tourism to Cancun. Americans simply have more disposable money and confidence. no one cares about bottom part of society.

“Europeans must take their future into their own hands, be more independent. Especially when it comes to security. We need a security architecture that has to become more independent of the US as a protecting power,” says Ischinger, who sees Germany in the role of the initiator on this issue

According to Ischinger, China's role also shows how serious the security policy developments and changes are worldwide. "For the first time, China will be actively involved in ending a conflict in Europe," he says. Because what the People's Republic has done and said since the start of the Ukraine war is manifesting a massive change in the political power situation.

More disposable income my arse, the average US citizen doesn’t have more disposable income, they are simply becoming poorer and more disposable to the government. The U.S. and the EU are going to become poorer as a collective and both their power and unity will decrease as they eventually decide to do the age old principle, ‘every man for himself’. Thus the next question is, which EU nation will be the first to throw the USA under the bus for survival drops from Russia and what will they offer in exchange, because becoming anti American is the bare minimum for all the betrayals that the EU has subjected Russia to

Entertainment industry got too big and California not exactly a favorite state.
California exports are barely half of Texas so industrial power is moving towards Midwest and Texas have multiple fabs under construction from TI to Samsung. what you see in images like home less or theft are the bottom part of society. It is the top part of society that has confidence in US and there Arabs and others interact.
